How do content blocks work

Here you will learn how to edit content blocks for your guidebook.

 

 

1. Understanding block sections

Once adding new content to your guidebook, you can add a completely new section (first level block) or add new content to existing sections as sub-sections (nested blocks).

It is important to understand these concepts since this is how your property information will be displayed to your guests.

1. First level blocks - Main section for a certain topic
2. Nested blocks - Sub-sections to existing topics

First level blocks

Think of these content blocks as "sections". These have the most important information about a certain topic to help your guests find the information they need.

 

Nested blocks

Nested blocks can be segmented into:

1. Second level blocks
2. Third level blocks

Think of these blocks as "sub-sections". Nested blocks are used to include more detailed information about a certain topic to help your guests find the information they need faster.

For example, if you have a first level block or a "section" about "Arrival Information", you might want to have sub-sections such as:

1. "Driving directions" - where you in detail show how to find your property.
2. "Access information" - where you show with images or videos how to find the lock box or use your keypad.

 

2. Add content

Adding new first level content blocks:

To add new content to your guidebook:

1. Click "+ Add block" at the top of your dashboard.
2. Then select the type of content you want to include on your guidebook.

All of the new content blocks that you add your guidebook will be automatically placed at the bottom of your existing content blocks on the left hand side.

 

 

Adding nested content blocks:

To add a nested blocks to a first or a second level block:

1. Click the "black plus" button on the first level block or section.
2. Then choose the type of nested block you want to add.

We suggest that in most cases you opt for a "Custom section" block since it is the most easy to use.

 

3. Delete content

You can delete content blocks.

Deleting a first level content blocks:

1. Click on the block you want to delete.
2. Scroll to the bottom.
3. Click "Delete Block" at the bottom right.
4. Confirm that you want to delete the block by clicking "Yes, delete".

IMPORTANT: This action cannot be undone! Deleting a first level block will automatically delete all of its nested blocks! Before deleting the first level block make sure that you are okay with the deleting all of its nested blocks.

 

 

You can delete nested content blocks.

Deleting nested content blocks:

1. Click on the first level content block.
2. Click on the nested content block you want to delete.
3. Scroll to the bottom.
4. Click "Delete Block" at the bottom right.
5. Confirm that you want to delete the block by clicking "Yes, delete".

IMPORTANT: This action cannot be undone! Once you delete a block its content will be gone. Deleting a nested block (a sub-section) won't delete its first level block (main section).

 

 

4. Drag and drop

You can drag and drop all of the content blocks on the left-hand side to rearrange their order on your guidebook.

To do that click and hold your click then drag the block where you wanted it to be placed.

 

 

5. Hide content

You can hide content on your guidebook by clicking the green slider button the respective content block you want to hide.

The content that you hide is not visible to your guests.

If you want certain content to be public that was previously hidden, simply click the same button once again.

 

 

6. Edit content

You can edit all of the content blocks on your guidebook.

All of the content changes you do will be immediately shown on the live preview on the right hand side.
